First published in 1992, Wendy Walker''s The Secret Service takes place in an alternative 19th century. A young king sits on the English throne and is about to take a bride. His Majesty''s Secret Service has learned of a plot against the royal couple: three nobles from the Continent, all passionate connoisseurs of the arts, are ready to release their dastardly attack in an effort to topple the current dynasty. The agents of the Secret Service, apprised of the threat, have formulated a technology that enables them to masquerade as objects-the objects most desired by the connoisseurs-in order to spy upon them undetected. Thus Polly, the protagonist, is sent abroad as a crystal goblet, while her two male colleagues perform their missions as a rose bush and a bronze statue of Thisbe. Once on the mainland, they discover, to their great peril, the full scope of the villains'' designs.

But when the doors lock shut, Molly begins to suspect she has made a terrible mistake. A new lead brings Molly’s daughter, Nicole, back to the small, desolate town where her mother was last seen to renew the desperate search. The locals are sympathetic and eager to help. The innkeeper. The bartender. Even the police. Until secrets begin to reveal themselves and Nicole comes closer to the truth about that night—and the danger surrounding her.

Due sorelle scomparse. Una sola torna a casa, raccontando una verità sconcertante… «Una trama complessa e affascinante che si insinua nella mente dei lettori. » The New York Times Quella sera, in casa scoppia una lite furiosa. Dopo le urla e i pianti, si avverte il rombo di un motore, poi il silenzio. La mattina seguente, le sorelle Tanner sono scomparse. L’auto della diciassettenne Emma viene ritrovata nei pressi della spiaggia: all’interno, solo la borsa e le scarpe della ragazza. Della quindicenne Cassandra, invece, nessuna traccia. Senza ulteriori indizi, le autorità vagliano tutte le ipotesi, per poi congelare il caso. Tre anni dopo, Cassandra torna a casa… da sola. Racconta che lei ed Emma sono state rapite e tenute prigioniere su una misteriosa isola del Maine, senza telefono, televisione o elettricità. La sua versione dei fatti, però, è piena di buchi; in particolare, il racconto del giorno della scomparsa non coincide con le deposizioni raccolte dai detective. Sembrerebbe che la memoria della ragazza sia ancora compromessa dal trauma eppure, per la psicologa forense Abby Winter, i conti non tornano. È successo qualcosa quella notte di tre anni prima, qualcosa che la famiglia Tanner sta tentando disperatamente di nascondere. In cerca di risposte, la dottoressa rivolge quindi lo sguardo verso la madre, il patrigno e il fratellastro di Cassandra. A poco a poco, nel quadro apparentemente perfetto di quella famiglia come tante, Abby intuisce inquietanti crepe e indizi che conducono lungo una strada costellata di menzogne, inganni e tradimenti. Una strada che Abby sarà costretta a percorrere, se vuole salvare Emma… Dopo Non tutto si dimentica – romanzo d''esordio tradotto in oltre 20 Paesi –, Wendy Walker ci riporta tra le ombre più oscure dei rapporti familiari, con una storia che coniuga magistralmente suspense, introspezione psicologica e perturbanti colpi di scena.

A jómódú connecticuti kisvárosban tökéletesnek tűnik az élet. Egy bulin azonban brutális támadás éri a tizenhat éves Jenny Kramert. A lány közvetlenül a támadás után erősen vitatott orvosi kezelést kap, egy olyan gyógyszert, amely kitörli memóriájából az erőszakos eseményt. Telnek, múlnak a hetek és hónapok, a fizikai sebek begyógyulnak, a támadásnak pedig nincs valóságos emléke, Jenny azonban heves érzelmi emlékeivel viaskodik. Édesapja szinte beleőrül, hogy képtelen megtalálni lánya támadóját, anyja viszont inkább úgy viselkedik, mintha ez a szörnyűség semmilyen hatással nem lett volna "tökéletes" vidéki társasági életére. Miközben segítséget keresnek Jennynek, és egyre könyörtelenebbül kutatnak a szörnyeteg után, aki betört a városukba, vagy talán ott él közöttük, óhatatlanul előkerülnek az évek óta árnyékban megbúvó gondok - a házasságuk és a zárt közösség törésvonalai. A sokkoló végkifejletű pszichológia thriller különlegessége, hogy a történetet Jenny pszichiátere meséli el. Wendy Walker regényéből, amelyet számos nyelvre fordítottak le, a Warner Brothers forgat filmet.

Twee zusjes, een verdwijnt. Een narcistische moeder, een maniakale stiefvader, een disfunctioneel gezin. Wie weet waar Emma Tanner is? De zusjes Tanner zijn verdwenen. Emma''s auto wordt gevonden, maar van haar en Cass geen spoor. Drie jaar later staat Cass ineens bij haar moeder en stiefvader op de stoep. Ze waren ontvoerd, vertelt ze, en gevangen gehouden op een eiland. Terwijl ze haar verhaal doet aan forensisch psychiater Abby Winter, onthult ze ook veel over haar leven voor de verdwijning. Een leven met een narcistische moeder, een maniakale stiefvader en een manipulatieve zus. Of is Cass juist degene die manipuleert?

»Ich stand frierend im Wald, von Furcht erfüllt zu scheitern. Es stand so viel auf dem Spiel. Sie mussten mir meine Geschichte glauben. Sie mussten Emma finden. Und um Emma zu finden, mussten sie nach ihr suchen. Es hing allein von mir ab, ob meine Schwester gefunden wurde.« Früh an einem Sonntagmorgen im Juli ist Cassandra – Cass – Tanner plötzlich wieder da. Sie steht auf der Türschwelle ihres Elternhauses und sagt immer wieder "Findet Emma!" Drei Jahre zuvor waren die 15-jährige Cass und ihre zwei Jahre ältere Schwester Emma spurlos aus der Kleinstadt in Connecticut verschwunden. Niemand konnte sich erklären, was passiert war. Es gab keine Hinweise, keine Zeugen, nur Emmas Auto am Strand, daneben ihre Schuhe, die Autoschlüssel und ihr Portemonnaie auf dem Sitz. Die Ermittlungen liefen ins Leere, Emma und Cass blieben vermisst. Nur die forensische FBI-Psychologin Dr. Abby Winter hatte schnell eine Theorie zu diesem ungewöhnlichen Fall, eine Theorie, die nur zu schmerzlich mit ihrer eigenen Kindheit und Jugend in Verbindung steht. Aber niemand glaubte an ihre Sicht der Dinge. Jetzt erzählt Cassandra, was Emma und ihr widerfahren ist. Je mehr sie preisgibt, desto klarer erkennt Abby, dass etwas an Cass'' Geschichte nicht stimmen kann. Und dass sie selbst die ganze Zeit über recht hatte: Cassandra und Emma sind in keiner "normalen" Familie groß geworden.Ihr Leben schien nach außen unbeschwert, war aber im Inneren eine psychische Hölle. Perfekte Täuschung, unbarmherzige Manipulation. Die Dämonen der Kindheit lauern noch immer im Elternhaus der Tanner-Schwestern. Abby wird diese Dämonen ans Licht zerren müssen, um eines zu verstehen: Warum ist Cass zurückgekehrt? Und wo werden sie Emma finden? Nach Dark Memories – Nichts ist je vergessen nimmt SPIEGEL-Bestsellerautorin Wendy Walker ihre Leser mit auf eine hochmanipulative Reise – soghafte, faszinierende und schockierende Psycho-Spannung, die erschüttert und nicht mehr loslässt.

"Both twisted and twisty, this smart psychological thriller sets a new standard for unreliable narrators." –Booklist, Starred Review One night three years ago, the Tanner sisters disappeared: fifteen-year-old Cass and seventeen-year-old Emma. Three years later, Cass returns, without her sister Emma. Her story is one of kidnapping and betrayal, of a mysterious island where the two were held. But to forensic psychiatrist Dr. Abby Winter, something doesn''t add up. Looking deep within this dysfunctional family Dr. Winter uncovers a life where boundaries were violated and a narcissistic parent held sway. And where one sister''s return might just be the beginning of the crime.
